haha thanks

it has a few nicks and nacks here and there.. but little TLC and she'll be good

ps; i see your edit, Narh, SR20DET with T28BB ;D

if the motor dies, it will be my mission to make a 'Nissan's version of a hatchback skyline'

So that means RB25, and the plastic overface thing for the tail lights + type X lights + GTR bumper + grill + the list goes on..

but the SR20 is running very nice!

[nos man]

Hello everyone, long time lurker fairly new poster.

Just wanting some advice if possible. I am currently looking at purchasing a skyline and am wanting somthing mechanically sound. I have recently found a car and was wondeing if there is anywhere that does pre purchase inspections? I know of RAA etc, but have been told there knowledge of imports isnt great. I am a female without a huge amount of mechanical knowledge and I dont want to be taken for a ride.

Thankyou for your input in advance

you can buy my r33 gtst! 20k with almost everything you need unless you're more into cosmetics

i want a honda

[scandyflick]

woo! another to join the SR brigade.

tis a funky lookin beast, i like it.

[ontheranch]

Looks really good!

I dont like the thought of cut and paste jobs on cars tho..

[Carbon 34]

NO! NO! NO! NO!!!!!!

Don't EVER mention that word on here again!!

F*cking bullshit place. My entire family has had dodgy dealings with that place, including me.

Don't EVER take ANY car there!! No matter how shit it is!!!!!!

2nd hand wheel bearings, snapping drive shafts, missing nuts... the list goes on.

Never again.

lol ok mate

I used them a while back for rebuilding the R31 driveshaft and some commo work nothing more , they have won many RAA awards for best shop in south.???

but your word is better then the BS awards.

happy customers or disgruntled ones speak volumes over some BS awards

[Damo_R34]

lol, well if their workshop is audited anything like my work is, we are told when they are coming, who is coming, and exactly what they will be looking at.

[AXTX]

haha, yeah i understand aboutt he cut and paste job, but all the guards are metal, its been engineered with the r32 front on so 100% legal

My dad is a panel beater by trade for 18 years, he said it was pretty well done (he is also a gap nazi)

be good to see some of your cars at one of these villis nights once the new bumper is done (satay pies FTW)

Yep they were fantastic until Rod retired and his Son Brenton took over. When Rod was heading it, the service was fantastic and no bullshit, either.

Once Brenton stepped in, the place has gone down-hill. My wheel bearing seized on me, so I took the car in (old car) to get it replaced. 2 weeks later, bang... wheel bearing had seized on me and my drive-shaft snapped, too. Went to Rod Prime, confronted them, and Brenton admitted they had used a 2nd hand wheel bearing from U-Pull-It yet charged me full price for a brand new one!! And they even left one of the wheel nuts off!

They also fitted the wrong water pump to the car (how they did that, I'll never know) and then told me I needed a brand new gear box, even though the gear box was fine and had been rebuilt only a few months prior.

Brenton is the rudest prick you'll ever talk to. He has 0 customer service and gives you real attitude. There's plenty of others in the same boat as I'm in, ever since Brenton took over.

Yeah, that is why I went over for the Melbourne Motor Show a couple of months back - to get my new car fix and have a gander at the R35GTR and the 370Z before they officially came out.

Good stuff, would love to see it IRL but I have never even managed to get my ass down to villis yet.

Dam it I want a pie now.
